Search. A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or describe its subject. The word, phrase, or clause which follows a linking verb to re-identify or describe the subject is called the subject complement. The most common linking verb is the verb to be.
What is a verb? A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. As you can see from that definition, there are two main categories of verbs: action verbs and state of being verbs (also known as linking verbs). Because action verbs and linking verbs are strong enough to be used in sentences all by themselves, they are called main verbs.
